The MaxBarrier operating principle is based on a rotating screen cylinder

Developed for systems utilizing bale pulpers and refining, MaxBarrier provides a robust physical barrier that removes heavy debris and contaminants before they can reach sensitive downstream equipment such as refiners. The system is designed to improve runnability, extend equipment lifetime, and reduce maintenance requirements in demanding fiber applications.

The MaxBarrier operating principle is based on a rotating screen cylinder. Heavy debris is separated from the pulp suspension through an integrated junk trap. Clean pulp passes through the screen perforations to the accept side, resulting in virtually no fiber loss.

Key Benefits of MaxBarrier:

  • Absolute protection through a robust physical barrier
  • Improved runnability and extended equipment lifetime
  • Very low power consumption
  • Optimized performance through application-specific cylinder selection

With more than a century of experience in papermaking technologies, AFT continues to develop solutions that help mills improve productivity, sustainability, and process reliability.
